Bill Claspie, Tony Ferguson, and Richard Cuthberson work with Mr. Dale Reid at the lathe in Machine Shop. Machine shop boys prepare to meet the stand- ards of modern industries. Boys interested in the how and why of automobiles find op- portunities to work on and to investigate engines in auto shop. Advanced auto shop pupils repair their own cars and those of trusting friends and faculty members. In the electrical shop, students plan wiring layouts, and they practice on the framework of a house located in the classroom. In wood shop classes, students first turn out bowls, lamps, and other small objects on the lathe; as they increase in skill, they make pieces of furniture for their homes, often from their own design. Louis Rigney, C. 0. Montgomery, Barry Eden. Terry Hannon, Robert Drotz, Jerry Cummins, Steve Boone, and Cecil Yates clean and repair engine parts.

Typing students throw away the old hunt and peck method as skill and precision develop through practice and drill Business Teachers Train Us In Practical Skills In the Business Education Department, second semester, 1,597 Manual students took advan- tage of the opportunity to develop their skills in operating business machines and in learn- ing office procedures. Though some were not preparing for careers in business, 548 stu- dents, in the spring, were enrolled in typing classes. Students realize the value of typing skill whether they intend to choose business as a career or to continue on with their formal education in college. Business students also learn to operate the multigraph, ditto, and mimeograph machines. From the dictaphone, they type as they listen to letters that have been recorded on tape. Other business courses include the composition of various types of business letters, messages, and applications for employment. Office training classes enable students to perform secretarial duties and to do production work for the school. |udy Hogue listens to the voice on the dictaphone, as she types a business letter in response. Noramae Branham and Mona Cole mimeograph material as part of their work in a business class.
